HB4698

Illinois HB4698 amends the Medical Practice Act to clarify and restrict fee splitting practices among licensed physicians.

Illinois HB4698 amends the Medical Practice Act of 1987 to clarify and restrict fee splitting practices among licensed physicians. The bill specifies that physicians may not split fees with anyone for services such as marketing, management, or negotiating fees, unless the physician retains control over fee collection. It also mandates that charges for multiple in-network services during the same appointment must be disclosed to the patient. The bill allows for fee division among physicians if the patient is fully informed and the division is proportional to the services performed.
